Shot BY A Reporter.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. l6.-Thom-
as Green, of Maysville, and Lew
Baldwin of Nicholasville, met in this
city this morning at halfpast eleven
O'Clock, and Green killed Baldwin i'll
shooting ARRAY. Green is cor
respondent of the CINCINNATI Com
merciat Gazette, and some months
ago wrote communications concern
ing the conduct of the election in
Jessamine county, charging Baldwin
and Others with certain unlawful acts
in the conduct of the election. The
poll books of two precincts in Jessa-
mine county were stolen. This,
among other things, was charged IN
Green's correspondence. To this
Baldwin replied, denouncing Green
in the strongest language.
When they met in front of the
Phoenix Hotel the quarrel was open
ed, and Baldwin denounced Green,
calling him all the offensive names
at his command. Green, being some
what deaf, either could not hear or
did not choose to resent, and finally
Baldwin drew his pistol, striking
Green on the head and afterward
firing, but missing. Green then drew
and fired, two of his shots striking
Baldwin in the left shoulder, one of
them ranging down and cutting the
aorta. Baldwin fired several shots,
one of which slightly cut Green on
the left side, and then fell dead.
Green was carried to a room in the
hotel and his wounds were found to
be trifling.

THE ELECTIONS.

About a dozen states held elections
on tuesday of last week, though in
some of them only legislatures, or
minor state officers, were chosen. In
Massachusetts the Republicans made
gains, as did the Prohibitienists. The
saloon interest, it is understood, is
arrayed against both parties. New
York had its usual plurality for TIE
Democrats. To the regret of good
order and decency, Col Fellows was
elected over Mr.. Nicholl, as district
attorney in New York City. Penn
sylvania gives the Republicans little
less than the usual majority. Ia New
jersey, the Republicans have carried
the legislature, thus securing Re-
publican successor to United States
Senator Mcpherson, which will offset
the loss of a successor to Senator
Riddleberger, of Virginia, which state
has elected Democratic legislature.
Ohio. Nebraska, and Iowa, went Re-
publican, the former state re electing
Governor Foraker, by an increased
majority. Maryland went Democratic
by reduced majority. Mississippi,
went solidly Democratic for members
of the Legislature and county officers.
In Rhode Island, the western district
chose Mr.. w. o. Arnold, as member
of Congress, by a good majority. This
action prevents tie in the House;
and, in case of the election of the
President being decided in the House,
the Republican states will be in a
majority of one. Prohibition was de-
feated in Oregon by about sevan
thousand votes. The contest against
the dram shop is severe one, and
patience and persistence are needed
In Dakota, the vote by counties was
favorable to prohibition.-Nornin9

Our Formidable Army,
GENERAL PHIL sHERIDAN's ANNUAL RE-
PORT.


WASHINGTON, Nov. l5th.-The an
nual report of Lieut.. General p. H.
Sheridan shows that the army now
consists of 1920 officers and 24,236
men. The general states that it is
his intention to assemble at an early
day board of officers to consider
what revision is necessary in tactics
with the view of placing the army
more completely in harmony with the
advanced methods of conducting
war.
Both the drill and the discipline
of the men, and the efficiency of the
army for service the general says.
"would be much enhanced by in
creasing by 5000 men the present
enlisted strength of the army, and to
still further perfect the organic 1tion
of the infantry arm two majors and
two companies should be added to
each regiment.
"The measure which would most
promote efficiency Of the service
would be the passage of law au
thorizing the immediate retirement
of those officers. about eighty in
number, in whose cases such action
has already been recommended by
military boards, or who have for
some time been absent on account of
sickness, from their commands, with
but little prospect of ultimate recov-
cry. Their enforced continuation on
the active list, though doing no duty,
has left companies without their
proper complement of officers, and
brought additional labor on other
men,. while at the same time depriv
ing them of merited promotion.
The magazine gun, Gen. Sheridan
thinks. must be the arlnor of the fu-
ture and a glance at foreign armies,
he says, shows that future to be very
near at hand. He suggests that the
efforts Of Lieut.. Zaliniski in the mat
ter of pneumatic guns should be en-.
couraged, and. in conclusion, strong
ly favors extension ofall possible aid
by the general government to the
National guard of the different states,
"as they constitute q body of troops
that in any great emergency would
form an important part of our mill
tary force"

COLORED BRIDE-WHITE GROOM.

"The New York World of Sunday
says Following the example of Fred
Douglass Miss Flora Batson, the
PrimaDonna WHO'S recognized as the
greatest balled singer the race has
produced, will shortly marry Mr..
Bergen, the gentleman who has for
several years been successfully con-
Quoting colored concerts in which
she has appeared as the star.
Miss Batson was born in Wash
ington twenty-three years ago, she
moved to Providence with her mo h.
er when four years old. She com
menced her professional career at 3
years of age singing two years for
Storer College at Harper's Ferry.
She then sang two years in the in
terest of the Peoples church of Bos-
ton. She next sang Tor Mr.. Dout-
ney the great temperance advocate
two years. During the great tenn
perance revival in New York under
Mr. Doutney, she sang six Feet of
Earth" ninety successive nights at
the Masonic Temple bringing hun
dreds of men To decide for n better
life and sign the pledge. Some three
years ago manager Bergen heard her
wonderful voice in Providence. He
at once brought her to New York
where she electrified an immence au-
dience at Sticnway Hall and entered
upon her brilliant career. 1t is said
that the profits from Miss Batson's
services had amounted to 100000.
Whatever may be the feeling Of eth
er the colored or the white people in
the matter it is certain that the ALI
ance will be highly agreeable to Man
ager Bergen and Miss Batson. When
asked by the writer if the report was
true, Miss Batson unlike her sex,
readily admitted the engagement and
said she thought too much of Mr..
Bergen to deny it. Mr.. Bergen says
he wishes to see the color line broken
and if his actions will contribute to
that end he will bear the brunt. Mr..
Bergen lost his first wife year ago.
He is related to the Bergens of New
Jersey, large and wealthy family,
after whom a county in New Jersey,
the city of Bergen opposite Jersey
city and a street in Brooklyn is
named The family originally came
from Bergen, Norway, some two
hundred and fifty years ago.-N T..

what True Merit Will DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectu-
al cure OF Coughs, Colds and the Sc
verest Lung troubles. 1t acts OIL an
entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by Physi-
clans, as it does not dry up a Cough
and leaves the disease still in the sys-
TEN, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors
bills and long spell Of serious Illness.
A trial will convince you ofthese facts.
1t is positively sold by all druggists
and general dealers in the land.
